The defects generated during manufacturing phase grow with the passage of time as the PV module is subjected to various kinds of thermo-mechanical loads during subsequent stages of life . The transportation of modules, handling, and installation might become a source of mechanical loads and produce some defects .
Quantity of moisture ingress in a PV module depends on the material properties of the backsheet and EVA. When the PV cell exposed to the high content of water vapor in the air, it causes encapsulate delamination [54, 55]. Cells interconnection or cracked cell happen in the c-Si cell.
There are various approaches used for detection of faults and failures in PV cells and modules. These approaches are based on visual inspection, electrical measurements, electromagnetic radiations measurements, and imaging techniques. 6.1. Visual inspection methods
Depending on the crack pattern of the larger cracks, the thermal, mechanical stress, and humidity may lead to “dead” or “inactive” cell parts that cause a loss of power output from the affected photovoltaic cell.
